bonds, and $175,OOO.OO now in seven per
cent. bonds, will, in 1891, need to be rein
vested. The reinvestment by constitu-
tional provision can be only in bonds of
the state of Texas, "if the same can
be obtained; if not, then n
United States bonds" Whether this
money is reinvested in state
bonds or in United States bonds, it is
likely that after 1891 it will bring not
more than per cent interest. In this
case the annual interest from state bonds,
as above stated, will drop from s31,9493S
to $66,4793S.
